[0:00] hello

[0:01] humans just doing the dishes here these

[0:04] are from my RV I just with me I they'd

[0:08] be easier to do here I will adapt to

[0:11] that once

[0:12] I once you know I'll get there

[0:15] eventually um kind of what I want to

[0:18] talk about I guess so I just want to

[0:22] tell you my

[0:23] plans um so I get my teeth Monday which

[0:27] means I can leave Kentucky anytime now

[0:29] that's the only thing that keep me here

[0:31] um I did make plans for well I guess I

[0:33] got to deal with the slide situation but

[0:36] I'll be doing that over the next two

[0:37] weeks so um and I have you know I'm at

[0:40] that next Campground for 2 weeks so

[0:42] that's it that's our last campground in

[0:44] Kentucky after that I am going to start

[0:47] heading to um the Great Basin National

[0:50] Park in

[0:51] Nevada um I'm going to go like maybe

[0:54] drive 3 or 4 hours a day um on the way

[0:56] there so it'll take about a week to get

[0:58] there I should get there in mid

[1:00] September well let me

[1:03] think it'll be late September I don't I

[1:06] don't want to make rigid plans I really

[1:08] don't so um it'll be late September I

[1:11] guess and I'm just going to spend some

[1:14] time there doing some stargazing you

[1:16] guys some of you know that that was

[1:17] always my plan I was calling it The

[1:20] Pilgrimage I don't feel that way anymore

[1:22] because I have reach cerence and feel

[1:26] fully integrated you know so my

[1:28] perspective has changed sign

[1:30] significantly originally when I was

[1:31] going to go there I was going to look up

[1:34] at the stars and just pray that

[1:36] something look back at me because um I

[1:39] felt so existentially alone and

[1:43] misunderstood and you know all of that

[1:46] was really just fragmentation in myself

[1:49] I don't feel that way anymore when I go

[1:52] to Nevada now to look up at the start

[1:55] I'm I'm just going there for the

[1:57] experience just for the awe of it you

[2:00] know the just the

[2:04] um that place is um in the United States

[2:07] considered like the best place for

[2:08] stargazing is why I wanted to go there

[2:10] and I just want to I just want to

[2:12] experience it that's it I'm just going

[2:15] there to experience it and then I don't

[2:19] know how long I'll stay there I haven't

[2:20] really thought that part through um

[2:23] probably not very long though so I don't

[2:25] know week or two I just I can't see

[2:28] myself being there longer than that it's

[2:29] not really

[2:31] um where I want to go so after that I'm

[2:33] going to the Pacific Northwest and I'm

[2:35] going there for the entire winter

[2:38] so um I'm going to be on the coast like

[2:41] Oregon Washington

[2:42] area and excuse

[2:45] me and um so I'm totally prepared for

[2:49] this I I know what to expect I know it's

[2:51] going to be raining all the time I'm

[2:53] going to love that sometimes the sun

[2:55] will come out and it'll be that much

[2:57] more magical when it does but I'm going

[2:58] to love the rain I'm going to

[3:00] love the rain uh it's going to be colder

[3:05] um the days are going to be like 6070s

[3:08] the nights again might even get into the

[3:10] 30s but I think it's mostly 40s and you

[3:13] know I feel like that I'm mostly

[3:15] prepared for that I'll need to do a

[3:16] little bit more preparing there's

[3:17] probably a little bit more insulating I

[3:19] could do to my RV um I could get some

[3:22] insulated curtains for my windows

[3:24] instead of what I have now you know

[3:27] little things like that but I most what

[3:30] I have like I already have what I need

[3:31] I've been preparing for this for 6

[3:33] months and while I'm there I'm going to

[3:36] stay at State pars probably um but not

[3:41] permanently and once I get there I want

[3:43] to start learning to Boondock that's

[3:45] important to me even though the sun

[3:47] won't be out as much I can still use my

[3:49] solar to an extent and I'll start

[3:52] adapting I'll start learning to use this

[3:54] stuff and living on less and just being

[3:57] self-sufficient cuz that's what this is

[3:59] about for me um and I plan to stay there

[4:02] until like I'll be moving around every 2

[4:04] weeks you know all over the place up

[4:06] there and then probably around March or

[4:10] something I'll start thinking about it's

[4:12] going to depend it's going to depend

[4:13] what's happening in the world at that

[4:15] time

[4:16] because

[4:18] um after our elections here I don't know

[4:22] what's going to happen maybe things will

[4:23] be

[4:24] fine you know I'm not predicting the

[4:28] future that's not what I'm doing I am

[4:30] looking at Trends I know where they're

[4:32] heading and I know that they're

[4:35] they're they're they're very unstable

[4:38] they can't last forever they can't last

[4:39] for much longer we're talking years so

[4:42] whether something happens or not during

[4:45] that time part of my reasoning for going

[4:48] there is because if something happens

[4:50] there it's a good place to

[4:52] be so um you know if something happens

[4:58] then obviously I started adapting my my

[4:59] plan big time um if nothing happens

[5:02] March comes around and you know it looks

[5:05] like like um we've got time I don't know

[5:08] what I'll do I'll think on that you know

[5:11] March is quite a long way from now I'll

[5:14] tell you some of the things I'd like to

[5:15] do if we can somehow keep this world

[5:18] together long enough I would love to see

[5:20] Canada I would love to travel through

[5:22] all of Canada maybe go up you know from

[5:25] from Washington and then start heading

[5:28] east all the way across Canada and then

[5:30] coming out over at um the um the Upper

[5:33] Peninsula Michigan I'm a Michigan native

[5:36] I I actually really love the nature in

[5:38] Michigan but I don't want to be there in

[5:40] the summer

[5:42] so spring sure that might be all right

[5:45] um also got to think about the weather

[5:47] like I haven't thought I'll this through

[5:48] I'm not going to I'll figure it out when

[5:51] it's time to figure it out um and I'm

[5:53] going to do the same with this what I'm

[5:55] planning now so I've only got a little

[5:57] bit of time now I got a couple weeks and

[5:59] and I'm going to plan out my routes and

[6:01] the places that I'm going to stay I

[6:02] don't know what they are yet m is being

[6:04] insane in this place he absolutely loves

[6:07] having this much space that's one thing

[6:09] I'm

[6:10] notic

[6:12] so kind of sad you know cuz he does live

[6:15] in an RV with me but he wouldn't want to

[6:18] be anywhere else that can't wants to be

[6:20] with me he's just I don't know he's just

[6:23] having one

[6:25] while um and we'll keep adapting

[6:28] together you know I would love to get

[6:30] him to I know I'm switching gear to him

[6:32] I don't care um I would love to train

[6:35] him to be on a leash but I don't think

[6:38] he's capable so I don't know I'm always

[6:41] thinking about his comfort

[6:43] though that's really it I in a

[6:46] completely different space Within

[6:50] Myself

[6:51] comfortable with flux with

[6:54] uncertainty with the knowledge that I've

[6:56] been carrying all this time I did what I

[6:59] said off to do I'm damn proud of myself

[7:03] and now I'm truly going to go live my

[7:06] best life I am looking forward to being

[7:08] in the Pacific Northwest uh I guess

[7:12] artificial intelligence was telling me

[7:13] that is a challenging environment and

[7:16] you know I'm like wait a minute I

[7:17] thought I had planned to start what do

[7:18] you mean it's challenging it told me all

[7:20] the ways it was challenging he said

[7:21] those are all the reasons I'm going

[7:22] there like literally none of those are

[7:24] things I would call challenge those are

[7:25] things that excite me I am looking

[7:28] forward to this I cannot not LNG and

[7:30] it's only two weeks how cool

Summary

rswfire outlines travel plans while doing dishes from his RV. He's getting his teeth on Monday, which will allow him to leave Kentucky. After two more weeks at his current campground dealing with a slide situation, he plans to drive 3-4 hours daily to reach Great Basin National Park in Nevada by late September for stargazing. His perspective on this trip has shifted from what he previously called "The Pilgrimage" - originally seeking existential connection - to simply experiencing awe at the best stargazing location in the US. After a week or two in Nevada, he plans to spend the entire winter on the Oregon-Washington coast, prepared for rain and temperatures in the 60s-70s during the day and 30s-40s at night. He intends to learn boondocking and self-sufficiency while moving between state parks every two weeks. His future plans depend on post-election conditions, with potential options including traveling through Canada if stability continues. He mentions his cat enjoying the space and expresses excitement about the challenging Pacific Northwest environment.
